Particularly in these current times, where misunderstanding of Islam and fear of Muslims is widespread, it is vital that all European youth actively and openly engage with one another in order to get past the stereotypes and enrich our understanding of each other's values and principles. The Youth Camp “Dialogue” aims at offering a space to young people to continue the implementation of the “Kazan Action Plan” and thus to promote intercultural dialogue and interreligious cooperation among young people across ethnic, religious, linguistic, and national dividing lines.
